I enjoy tying Frenchys, I use jig hooks, 14 usually and tungsten " disco beads , , ( octagon shaped bead head ). , I'll be honest I just can't enjoy fishing them though , I spend more time getting hung up on rocks , that I just don't bother with them , the only weight I used is the bead head , maybe I'll give it more time again soon , I just don't enjoy nymphing much , however I love tying them lol
